Dr Parks is more than just a professional. He has a genuine concern for his patients. He is very rarely in a rush, he gives you the time to discuss how you are feeling and to discuss any issues you are experiencing. He is compassionate and caring. I have recommended Dr. Parks to several of my friends. He is by far my favorite doctor. I wish more doctors were like him. He is outstanding.
Dr Parks is excellent. Very friendly, answers all your questions and doesn’t make you feel stupid for asking.
Dr. Parks is always so encouraging as I deal with the aches and pains (and arthritis!) of growing older. He helps to make this journey easier.
First visit was the first time I met him. He is an awesome doctor, very approachable, friendly, and explain it to whatever is going on you make you feel comfortable with his decisions and help you make your decisions correctly. Good doctor.
Very detailed and gets right to the point. He didn’t rushed me out of the office, he listened to all my concerns and addressed everyone.
One of the nicest man I’ve ever met, and a great surgeon!!!
